CHARACTERIZATION OF ELASTIC POLYMER-BASED SMART INSOLE AND A SIMPLE FOOT PLANTAR PRESSURE VISUALIZATION METHOD USING 16 ELECTRODES

Characterization of Elastic Polymer-Based Smart Insole and a Simple Foot Plantar Pressure Visualization Method Using 16 Electrodes

In this paper, we propose a smart insole for inexpensive plantar pressure sensing and a simple visualizing scheme.The insole is composed of two elastomeric layers and two electrode layers where the common top electrode is submerged in the insole.The upper elastomeric layer is non-conductive Swabs poly-dimethyl-siloxane (PDMS) and supports plantar p

Review of the Ediacaran-Lower Ordovician (pre-Sardic) stratigraphic framework of the Eastern Pyrenees, southwestern Europe

The Ediacaran-Lower Ordovician successions exposed in the Eastern Pyrenees are updated and revised based on recent U-Pb zircon radiometric ages, intertonguing relationships of carbonate-dominated strata, and onlapping patterns marking the top of volcano-sedimentary complexes.A stratigraphic comparison with neighbouring pre-Variscan outcrops from th

The Role of Inflation-Indexed Bond in Optimal Management of Defined Contribution Pension Plan During the Decumulation Phase

This paper investigates the optimal investment strategy for a defined contribution (DC) pension plan during the decumulation phase which is risk-averse and pays close attention coverup to inflation risk.The plan aims to maximize the expected constant relative risk aversion (CRRA) utility from the terminal real wealth by investing the fund in a fina

Persistence of Salmonella Typhimurium and antibiotic resistance genes in different types of soil influenced by flooding and soil properties

Salmonella is a zoonotic foodborne bacterial pathogen that can seriously harm health.Persistence of Salmonella and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) in different types of soil under flooding and natural conditions are rare explored.This study investigated the dynamic changes of the Salmonella, ARGs and bacterial communities in three types of soils
